Did anyone question that this was going to happen. My surprise is that it took so long to compile and file the complaint LOL
This one should send the lead counsel (firm) skyrocketing i.e. houses in the Hamptons, helicopters, yachts, the whole nine!
It's not your job nor the governments role to protect stupid people from themselves. If that were true, most people wouldn't have a cell phone nor an automobile.
The government has developed capabilities far beyond those revealed by Snowden. It is virtually impossible for anyone to stay off of the net. While driving down the highway, your auto is being tracked by license plate and your face by facial recognition, so that your location can be re-played. They have open access to VisaNet and other transaction processing networks. This information is readily accessible to non-military agencies, without a warrant. Although, in theory, they cannot use that information against you without a warrant.
Combine the aforementioned data with a few carefully place Stingrays and it's impossible for a "normal person" to remain unobserved.
Snowden was just scratching the surface. He may, in fact, be a "plant" to throw people off of the actual scope and breadth of things in the domestic intelligence biz.
Fear mongering about runaway ecosystems is a sign of weak minded foolishness.
Wut?
What runaway ecosystems? Who mentioned that? Where are these strict environmentalists you're talking about? Are these crabs eating everything or something?
"Biodiversity" is a codeword used by eco-elitists, whom are trying to seem intelligent.
My point is simple, the inhabitants of the planet Earth are constantly in flux. And "preserving everything" is simply a naive and thinly veiled method of stifling human progress.
And, when one species moves out of a "specialization pocket", others move in to assume the advantage provided by that specialization gap. Strict environmentalists are really uninformed absolutists; they are as dangerous to civil society as absolutist industrialists.
You should study the reality behind how ecosystems adapt and reform equilibriums. Fear mongering about runaway ecosystems is a sign of weak minded foolishness.
Yep. Solyndra's competitor from Oregon, named Solopower, just put their Silicon Valley manufacturing facility up for auction with 2 weeks notice... They participated in the same DOE loan program as Solyndra.... great work to that DOE idiot that resigned. OMG! So let's double down on the stupid.

I'm an ambivert. Many of my tech friends are generally introverts and do appreciate having their own space. But I would only categorize a minority of my computer geek buddies as loners.
I want to make fun of South Carolina, because it's the right thing to do. But I will hold off. Faith-based perspectives are matters of faith, they are not provable. Ergo, they should be reserved for faith organizations, not public schools. There is no controversy, other than the fact that people with faith (read: you cannot prove it) should stick to the faith business and leave the teaching of science to the folks that do science.
I have been an aviator since 1986. The private aircraft industry has been in a slow decline, for many years. It's mostly cost driven by regulatory compliance and taxes that force people out of aviation. It's now a hobby for the most-wealthy folks or corporate elites that can afford a private jet (which is paid for by the shareholders). Sigh, things change.
I am unfamiliar with that school, and no, it is not the school to which I refer. If your implication is that you object to that teaching, I agree with you. However, in this situation, the parents are able to withdraw their children and return them to public school, if they find that religious teaching objectionable. However, the contra is not true for parents whom are financially challenged; without an alternative to which they can send their child and the means to send them to that alternative (I.e. Vouchers), they are stuck. I would like to empower those under privileged children and their parents, to enable them to make their own choices.
Agreed. However, there is no money to be made in education, unless you are an elite post-secondary institution. As far as politics are concerned, that same assessment can be made of public schools. Competition in any ecosystems forces the competitors to enhance themselves and specialize. What's wrong with that?
Alice has nothing to do with Walmart. How does Luckyo equate her donations as a corporate take-over? Me thinks Luckyo is a good union steward.... or a simple minded person that doesn't understand how competition can force public schools to step up their game. Of course, government / municipal employees don't want to be stretched, on their 30 year journey toward retirement.
Spoken like a true leftie educator. I personally know a person who spearheaded a charter school in Kentucky (where education competition is badly needed) and this man was a great soul with a sense of purpose; focused on education and teaching children the skills of critical thinking and basic education. Get over yourselves.
Bon, you are in the same timeout bucket with Taxman. They are called thoughtful people. Your snarky rhetoric doesn't help to foster a positive dialogue about the real issues.
It would be nice if we could net back some of our investment in developing this technology. Just saying. Put it somwhere hip and cool, that will attract many smart folks and retain them....
taxman, most republicans care a great deal about our environment. That kind of blanket statement is tantamount to racism or sexism, it is absolute. You should rethink.
If you want to chuckle, go to the AS/400 section of IBM's website. "It's not dead, we swear!" LOL
It's interesting to see how IBM is selling off, all of their commodity business (laptops, servers, chips) to focus on the high margin stuff.... people should take note.

These Israeli "tech companies", which are deeply subsidized by the U.S. government, are generally worthless. Just like most fails from Silly Valley.

Bump to both of you. Slashdot has been infested by immature left-leaning-whiners that cannot engage in useful dialogue.

Slashdot moderators are so left-of-center, it makes me sick. How is Alice's DUI issue germane and "Insightful"?

The title is misleading. They use accelerators and vehicle speed to navigate. It aint dead reckoning
